Electrical Question
 

Gauges on my '96 GC went dead on me the other day while I was driving home,
but they are back and working. Now, all the idiot lights come on and off
for no apparent reason. Any suggestions were to start looking?

Re: Electrical Question
 

My guess: Ignition switch (down on the column) or associated wiring harness.

Check your battery terminals.
